Oncoplastic Lumpectomy
Combines complete cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques to maintain breast shape and symmetry — offering excellent cosmetic outcome along with strong cancer control.
What is Oncoplastic Lumpectomy?
Oncoplastic Lumpectomy combines the principles of complete cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques to preserve and even enhance the natural shape and symmetry of the breast. It is particularly valuable when the tumour is in a cosmetically challenging location, when a wider area needs to be removed, or when symmetry between both breasts is a priority. Dr. Tejasree Vengala, an experienced female breast surgeon in Hyderabad, performs oncoplastic lumpectomy at Lux Hospitals, Hyderabad, offering excellent cancer clearance with outstanding cosmetic outcomes.
How the Procedure Works
Anaesthesia & Detailed Planning
Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Pre-operative markings are made on the breast for the planned cancer removal and reshaping.
Tumour Excision
The cancer is removed with a healthy margin using a carefully planned incision that doubles as a cosmetic incision.
Tissue Rearrangement
Healthy breast tissue is rearranged using plastic surgery techniques such as displacement or replacement flaps to fill the cavity.
Symmetrisation (if needed)
If significant volume has been removed, the opposite breast can be reshaped in the same sitting to maintain symmetry.
Closure & Recovery
Skin is closed with fine sutures and skin glue, with attention to scar placement. Most patients are discharged within 1–2 days.

Oncoplastic Lumpectomy Cost in Hyderabad
The cost of oncoplastic lumpectomy in Hyderabad depends on the size and location of the breast lesion, the amount of tissue removal required, the breast reshaping technique used, complexity of the procedure, the investigations required, and the care needed before and after surgery.
For patients requiring breast-conserving cancer surgery combined with reconstructive techniques to maintain breast shape and appearance, the approximate cost ranges between ₹90,000 and ₹2,00,000.

The final cost may vary depending on your individual condition, findings during evaluation, type of oncoplastic technique used, pathology requirements, and whether any additional procedures are required.
Factors That Influence Oncoplastic Lumpectomy Cost
The overall cost may depend on:

Breast lesion characteristics: The size, location, type of tumour, and amount of tissue requiring removal may influence treatment planning and surgical complexity.

Pre-operative evaluation: Required breast imaging, biopsy reports, staging investigations when needed, blood tests, and medical assessments before surgery may affect the overall cost.
- →
Oncoplastic technique used: The reshaping method, tissue rearrangement, or other reconstructive techniques used to maintain breast contour may influence the procedure cost.
- →
Additional procedures: If sentinel lymph node biopsy, lymph node evaluation, or other breast procedures are required along with lumpectomy, the cost may vary.
- →
Pathology evaluation: Examination of the removed tissue, margin assessment, and additional laboratory evaluation may influence the overall estimate.
- →
Hospital stay and post-operative care: The duration of admission, medicines, wound care, dressing requirements, and follow-up visits may influence the final estimate.
